Come watch the official release of this year’s game! We’ll watch a video overview of the game and see the field elements. After kickoff, we’ll head over to SDA to start planning our robot design.

Sign up (above) and meet at LCC this Saturday morning at 6:30 am. Information from the kickoff organizers is attached

Brainstorming Sessions @ SAN DIEGUITO ACADEMY

If you can’t make it to the kickoff event, come to some (or all) of the brainstorming sessions at SDA. Their robotics team has invited us back and is going to mentor our team for a second year. The sessions start after Kickoff at ViaSat on Saturday and we’ll continue on Sunday.

We’ll meet in their media center and discuss this year’s game, including rules, limitations and strategies. This is an important part of our overall robot design planning. It’s fun!

There is lunch served both days at SDA. Again, please sign up if you will make any or all of the brainstorming sessions.

It’s okay if you can only drop in one or both days. Any time you can put in will help the team!

We need help carpooling the team over to the kickoff at ViaSat. We’d also like to help pull our weight with the SDA team team, so if you can help serve lunch or bring food either day, it would be appreciated.

The La Costa Canyon MavBots are competing in a robotics tournament this Saturday, October 17th at Francis Parker School.

Francis Parker School
6501 Linda Vista Road
San Diego, CA 92111

This pre-season tournament is run almost exactly like the San Diego Regional tournament. It’s a great time to meet other teams, learn how tournaments work, learn to drive the robot, and watch some amazing robots in action.

TEAM: Meet at LCC at 6 am. We should be back by 7 pm or earlier depending on our performance in the game.

Join the LCC MavBots, FIRST Robotics Competition Team 5514, for the upcoming year. We are starting with building and prepping our robots for a practice tournament in October. Then in January, we get the new challenge from FIRST and have 6 weeks to build a robot!

Our rookie year has been possible in large part due to your mentoring and hospitality. The La Costa Canyon Robotics Team appreciates your guidance and patience as we learn to navigate your machine shop and the bigger world of FIRST Robotics Competition.

With Kickoff this Saturday, we’re excited to have your support in our rookie year! GO TEAM PARADOX!
